Public Safety is tracking a significant snowfall that will be arriving in our area late Sunday morning (Jan. 25). It will snow heavily throughout the day and evening eventually tapering off Monday (Jan. 26) with 10-14 inches expected statewide. A sleet and freezing rain mix is also possible along the shore. Temperatures will be in the teens and twenties.
Due to this significant winter storm and the extensive campus clean-up operations that will need to take place, all in-person day and evening classes scheduled for Monday, January 26, 2026 have been cancelled. All scheduled in-person classes will transition to being held online or remotely. Additional information on the virtual format for each class will be provided by your instructor.
Faculty have been asked to prepare for Online or Remote sessions in the event of in-person meeting cancellations. These options will be determined by the Faculty member and all questions should be directed to the Faculty teaching each course section. Faculty also have been asked to be very understanding and accommodating of the individual situations of their students who may have difficulty managing these alternative online or remote class meetings on short notice.
Please note that only essential employees, as previously determined by their respective department leaders, should report to campus. All other employees should fulfill the requirements of their role remotely.
Campus operations for residential students, unless otherwise noted, will operate as scheduled, though hours may be modified or changed based on the conditions. Separate messages will be sent from the Peterson Library, the Beckerman Recreation Center, and Dining Services regarding any changes to their normal hours of operation. The Bergami Center for Science, Technology, and Innovation will remain open for residential students to use for study space and to participate in online classes.
Off-campus students that live in the City of West Haven should abide by the city’s parking ban during inclement weather to avoid having their vehicle tagged and towed. Please check the City of West Haven’s website for further information on their snow parking ban.

Samantha Slaza '20, a theater arts major, is not a soccer player, but she plays one on stage. Soccer practice, of sorts, was part of her preparation for her role as #7 – a headstrong teenager – in the University of New Haven theater program's upcoming production of "The Wolves."
"Practicing kicking a soccer ball everyday has been interesting, and it really opened me up to other hobbies," she said. "Turns out, I'm pretty good at kicking a soccer ball! I also enjoyed playing a character who is very different from who I am as a person, as #7 has a much harder and tougher exterior than I do."
The play follows the teenage members of a girls indoor soccer team as they discuss many difficult and relevant topics and navigate important questions together. The curtain comes up Wednesday through Saturday, November 13 to 16, at 7:30 p.m. in Bucknall Theater in Dodds Hall. Tickets can be purchased online.
Written by Sarah DeLappe, "The Wolves" was a Pulitzer Prize finalist for drama in 2017. It is also one of the most produced American plays this year.
"'The Wolves' is a stunning piece of theater that follows how a group of young women, between the ages of 16 and 17, try to come to terms with the turbulent, irrational, and tragic world they've inherited," said Jonathan Yukich, co-coordinator of the University's theater program and the play's director. "It's a beautiful play – funny, heartbreaking, and searingly honest. We are proud to be bringing such a powerful and relevant work to our campus community."
Rose-Emma Lambridis '20 plays Slaza's teammate #00, an anxious and overachieving goalie. Lambridis, who also designed the production's promotional poster, got a kick out of working on the show, and she hopes the campus community will enjoy it.

"What I have enjoyed most about working on this production is the wonderful script," she said. "The story is not only relevant, it also pays homage to teenage girls. Although the girls are put through so much for simply enjoying life or being themselves, they find peace within the community they have created as a soccer team."
